Ventura Deluxe Dry Testing With Artificial Ocean
If it is not possible to test run the system with the boat in the water, testing may be accomplished with
an artificial ocean. Purchase enough aquarium salt to make 5 gallons (20 liters) of salt water.
Make sure that the domestic water system is powered up and that there is at least 30 gallons (120 Li-
ters) of water in the tank. Confirm that the charcoal filter is installed in the fresh water flush module
and that the domestic water line had been installed and all valves are open.
1. Open Pressure Relief Valve on the Clark Pump. Remove the green tag and spacer!
2. Close the yellow service valve on the inlet module. This will be the center location.
3. Open the grey fresh water flush valve.
4. Start the feed pump and let it run 20 minutes to purge the storage chemical overboard.
5. Stop the feed pump
6. Hook up your inlet and brine discharge service hoses per the photo and route them into the 5 gal-
lon (20 Liter) container. Turn your product sample valve to the sample position. Route the prod-
uct output into the bucket.
7. Restart the feed pump and fill the bucket with fresh water from the brine discharge. Stop the
pump and close the fresh water flush valve.
8. Rotate the yellow service valve to the service position.
9. Mix the salt to the proper proportion or use an aquarium hydrometer to adjust the salinity level.
10. Start the feed pump, allow to prime and then close the pressure relief valve. The system should
build pressure and after several minutes start making water.
11. Run the system under pressure and check for proper operation and leaks.
After testing the system stop the feed pump and replace the brine discharge hose. Restart and drain
the bucket. You can now store the system by using the above procedure for adding fresh water to the
bucket and using the storage procedure. If the system is to continue to be commissioned performing,
a fresh water flush will hold the system for 4-5 days.
